The NY Jets will not be trading Haason Redick anytime soon and things are about to get awkward.

After forcing a trade out of Philadelphia, Reddick is once again requesting another trade after not getting a new contract extension.

According to The Athletic’s Dianna Russini, there’s a communication issue between the Jets and Reddick about whether the Jets were going to offer Reddick a new contract. Reddick believes he was promised a new contract, while the Jets say he wasn’t.

*Jets made a “below market” offer before the trade, Reddick turned it down
*The Jets moved forward with the trade without a deal in place.
*The Jets never made a new offer on a long-term extension because they say they were informed by Reddick’s rep that he would play under his current contract.
*That is NOT the player’s side. Reddick’s camp believes the Jets said they WOULD do a deal and trusted this would get done by camp.
*A few weeks ago, the Jets called and said they would be willing to re-work the current deal if he showed up. From the player’s side, that’s not what they agreed to before the trade, so he didn’t show.
Now trust is broken by all.

After Redick requested a trade on Monday, the Jets immediately responded by saying they would fine Reddick for every day he missed practice.

Update: Jordan Schulz confirmed Russini’s report about Reddick believing the Jets were going to sign him to a new deal.
